AutoIt Server


Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a very simple chat client/server, and I have written the server code as follows:

; GUI CODE ABOVE THIS;

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW);

Global $ServerSocket;
Global $SocketCreated = "false";
Global $IP = "127.0.0.1"; _GetIP()

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $StartServerButton
        systemReport("Starting Server...");
        startServerSocket(GUICtrlRead($PortInput));
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
        systemReport("Drag & Drop Detected");
        
    Case Else
    ;;;;;;;
EndSelect
if ( $SocketCreated == "true" ) Then
;systemReport("Checking for Connections");
    $ConnectedSocket = TCPAccept($ServerSocket);
    If $ConnectedSocket >= 0 Then
        systemReport("Client Connected");
        TCPCloseSocket($ConnectedSocket);
    EndIf
    
EndIf

WEnd
Func startServerSocket($port)
;if ( $SocketCreated == "false" ) Then
        TCPStartUp();
        TCPListen("127.0.0.1", 3127,  10 );
        
        If $ServerSocket = -1 Then
            systemReport("Cannont Listen on port[" & $port & "] .");
        Else
            
            systemReport("Server Started Successfully on port[" & $port & "]");
            $SocketCreated = "true";
            
        EndIf
;Else
;   systemReport("Server Already Started");
;EndIf
    
EndFunc
Func systemReport($Message)
    GUICtrlSetData($ConnectedUserBox, "<System> " & $Message & @CRLF, "whatever");
EndFunc

The server always responds "Server Started Successfully on port 3127", yet my firewall never goes off asking if i want to allow it access, and my dummie client (just connects) fails to connect to it. I have tried it using 127.0.0.1 and my outside IP address.

Also, I have read the help file and I am not quite sure how I would sustain mutiple connections at the same time. Perhaps this outside of the scope of the AutoIt Language.

For this you could check out my http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/Helge/udfs.htm#tcpserver-udfs, which tries to make this easier...

Only thing missing in that collection, as far as I can see, is a UDF which forwards

data from one client to the other clients... haven't decided exactly how I should

do this yet... The other UDFs however should be ok, I guess :D
